VISIT THE TANK MUSEUM

It has a huge collection of tanks and other armoured vehicles on display, including some important and unique items found nowhere else. These ranging from Little Willie, the original, very first tank prototype, up to current vehicles. I first went here in 1989 and then it was much more limited with all the vehicles just lined up in one giant hall, except for a couple smaller spots. Now, the complex is much larger with separate buildings, with a newer one housing the main display of the best-preserved vehicles in a more organized manner by theme and period. The rest of the vehicles, in various conditions with some needing significant repair, are packed in another building. Some of the vehicles operate and they have special events throughout the year, such as Tiger Day when the WWII Tiger Tank can be seen in action,and Tankfest, which has numerous re-enactors, guest tanks and more in operation in the arena. We went for Tankfest, June 2022 and it was a wonderful experience. There is a cafe and extensive gift shop as well.

For those with any interest in the subject, this is a must-see, whether you go to Tankfest or just for the museum. read less

I thought I would be bored as tanks aren’t really my ‘thing’ but I thoroughly enjoyed the day, we spent over 4 hours there. It was really interesting with lots of interactive things to do.

Although we didn’t have kids with us there was lots for kids to do throughout the whole museum and a great soft play area next to the cafe.

There was a good selection of food and drinks and the prices in the gift shop were really reasonable.

Although it’s a 7hr journey for us we would definitely go back if we’re ever down that way again. read less

Unfortunately the lifts were out of order and a couple of the interactive games for children were also out of order was disappointing, the indoor picnic area was great as it was raining hard when we visited. read less
